Drag Strip shows open defiance toward Megatron when he and the Stunticons are told to report to base. His response is, "Tell Megatron to blow it out his exhaust..."
This episode should have been shown before Aerial Assault as this is where Starscream creates the Combaticons.
Decepticons' eyes or eye lenses are normally colored red. Only one of the Combaticons has a red eye lens, Vortex. The rest are varied in color from gray, yellow to purple.
Following the insertion of their personality components, the Combaticons transform into completely new vehicles.
Onslaught (orig. half track troop transport truck) - flat bed missile truck.
Brawl (orig. M4 Sherman tank) - Leopard1A3 main battle tank.
Swindle - remains a Willy's M38 Jeep (some sources cite his new model as a FMC XR311 combat support vehicle.)
Blast Off (orig. B-17 Flying Fortress) - NASA space shuttle.
Vortex (orig. Chance Vought F4U Corsair) - Kaman SH-2 Seasprite.
Starscream finds the energon he needs in room 217. This was the forbidden room in Stephen King's The Shining. Scatman Crothers appeared in the film The Shining, but the room was changed to 237.
